On Chang'an Night, strange things happened. A cup of black tea leads to a series of murders; an altar hides all the palace secrets.
Lu Lingfeng was framed and forced to flee the capital; Duan Qingchen made clever arrangements to secretly protect his close friends; Su Wuming became a lonely minister and left Nanzhou. The three of them are all pawns, and they are unwilling to be manipulated. The confrontation between light and dark in Jinwu's prison, the change of authority in the court, and the late-night escape outside Anhua Gate, every step is on the edge of life and death.
The prince and the princess are competing against each other, the emperor's mind is unfathomable, and the decision of Baoguo Duke's mansion will rewrite the court structure. Yuan Lai's death is both the end and the beginning; the journey south is to avoid disaster and to accumulate strength.
When all the clues intertwine, the truth is far crueler than imagined. Can they escape from the maelstrom of intrigue? Can the flame of revenge light up the way back to Chang'an? The wind in Chang'an may be waiting for an answer
